Rival Hotel Attractions.
From the Syracuse Standard.

mining camp. We ran into San Francisco
frequently, and | shall never forget the at
fractions which two rival hotels offered TO
the public to eclipse the others patronage.
One of them was known as the Clean Shirt
and the other as the Golden Eagle The
Clean Shirt started with a small one-horse
Grassland concert on the balcony every
evening, and drew big crowds, including
about all the Golden Eagles guests Pretty
soon. however, the Clean Shirt began to
lose her boarders by the score without any
apparent cause. The proprietor enlarged
his brass band and polished up his bar with
out effect. IL didn't take him long TO find
out that the Golden Eagle was having
nightly cooking mains and dog fights for
the exclusive benefits of her guests. Then
the Clean Shirt got back part of her custom

smuggling matches. It's fact, gentlemen
that when miners and others had personal
differences to settle, they used TO offer 81 cir
services TO the proprietor of the Clean
Shirt, who paid well for fight, the money
hibitions were given in private quarters
and none hut guests and their friends were
admitted. The Golden Eagle next enhanced
its attractiveness by knocking out one end
of her dinng-room and building on stage

and had variety performances at every
meal. Women were scarce in that

BIRMINGHAM ROBBED.
Memphis Induces the Umpire to Call
a Game Uniustly.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug 26.-Birmingham
was deliberately robbed in to-day's game.
The score stood 10 TO S, when Birmingham
came TO the bat in her half of the ninth in
ming. The errors of the home team and
Masran's sacrifice enabled Hillery and
Burks TO score. An attempt was made to
throw the latter out at the home plate,
but he was clearly safe and
the umpire so decided Andrews and other
players came in from their posts to remon-
strate. when Stallings, who was on first,
began to play off that base McKeogh
threw wildly to Crotty, who missed the ball
and Stallings ran on 70 third. just then it
occurred to Doyle that it was too dark to
play any longer. The point was eagerly
taken up by the Browns and Umpire Suck
yielded and called the game. 1t vas getting
dark, but not dark enough TO prevent Bir-
mingham from hitting the ball. That's
where the shoe pinched. Even the 200 spec

clear case of robbery, and that's all there is
of it. The score by innings follows:

TIE COY COOL WAVE.
Plenty of Indications but the Cool

The temperature yesterday was L higher

Asylum Changes.

WESTON, w. VA, August 29.--It
was early Friday morning before the
hearts of the expectant candidates
learned of their fate at the hands of
the board of directors of the hospit-
al. Dir. Bland and DR.. Mcdonald
were the only candidates for super
intendent. DR.. Bland received five
votes and DR.. Mcdonald four, as fol-
lows: Whelan, Colston, Post, Bias.
sell and Preston voting for DR..
Bland, and Chipley, Sturgiss Mayer
and Peck for DR.. Mcdonald. The
assistant physicians are DR.. J. s..
Lewis, of Weston, present incum-
bent, Miss DR.. Jones, of Wheeling,
DR.. r. L. Brown. of Buckhannon,
and DR.. f. M. Hood, Morgantown.
DR.. j. /. Warden. of Weston, was
elected druggist at salary of $500
year, in place of Dr.C. G. Hers
mon, who was removed. This is the
only change made in the offices and
it is said that his removal is due to
the action of his father in preferring
charges against some of the employ
ees of the hospital, which he wanted
to sustain before the board.
Miss DR.. Jones, the lady physi-
clan, succeeds DR.. j. s. Manown,
whose position was declared vacant
by the Board at its last meeting, on
account Of his inability to produce a
medical diploma. Miss Mary b.
Jackson, matron, and Miss Ida Nc
Gee, her assistant, were both re-elec
ted, and Miss Jackson's salary was
reduced to 5000 per year, her salary
previous to this time being 500. The
generous Board passed an order al
lowing each os the physicians a va.
cation of thirty days out of each
year, provided they spent fifteen
Jays visiting other institutions of
imilar character. They also allow
Che other employees weeks vaca
ton in each year at the same salary,
and continuing in force during their
bsence. The secretary, Mr.. j. M.
G hidester, resigned.

The Presidents Picture in ST Louis.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-A Times spe
cial from st. Louis says Trouble is
breaking out here over the recent
Cleveland picture excitement at
Wheeling, and it now seems probable
that the scenes will be re-enacted here
during the national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic. A
great many democrats have express
ed an intention to hang the Presi-
dents picture over the streets in
front of their buildings, and doubtless
the Grand Army procession will be
given opportunity enough to go I'M
der or around it. Street-corner dis
cussions over the matter are frequent
and warm, and two democratic pa
pers of the city are having dispute
over it. One takes the ground that
the Army was invited here by the city
and that the soldiers should be treat
ed as their guests and nothing done
by our citizens to cause them to re-
greet their visit, and expresses the
hope that no Cleveland pictures will
be flung to the breeze during the en-
campment The other claims that
the Grand Army invited itself here /;
that it has treated the city shamefully
in the Cleveland invitation trouble,
aud in asking our citizens to haul
down their Cleveland banners upon
the arrival of the veterans it is ask
ing what cannot and should not be
granted.
